Save Baby Seals: End the Seal Hunt

Each year, hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals are slaughtered on the ice fields off Canada's east coast for their pelts. Over 95% of the seals killed during this hunt are just days or weeks old.

The Seal Concentration Camp

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has been waging a war for quite some time now with the seal hunting industry. The Canadian Government insists that the seal hunt is an animal production industry like any others, while animal activists says the levels of suffering present here most than in any other industry cannot be tolerated. According to independent studies 79% of the sealers involved in the study did not check to see if an animal was dead before skinning it. Furthermore, in 40% of the cases, the sealhad had to be struck a second time, because it was still conscious after the first blow. Almost half of the seals were conscious when skinned.

“The impaling of live and conscious seals on steel hooks and hoisting them onto boats is still permitted – I don’t know anyone who would call that an improvement in humaneness.”

This year, 275,000 harp seals are set to be slaughtered. Over 224,000 seals were killed in last year’s hunt, 98.5% of which were under three months old.

(Charlottetown, PEI, Canada) - Experts with IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare – www.ifaw.org) denounced the Canadian government’s claims that a new condition of licence will improve the humaneness of Canada’s commercial seal hunt. The so-called ‘new’ regulations make no real changes to the way seals can be killed. They simply call for bleeding to be conducted at some point, “where possible” or even after the seal is finally brought onto the deck of a sealing vessel.
